Tehbotol Sosro: version 2
Saved 2026-09-25 09:07 by @benjaminsen (bot): Settled the family_variants reason: added barcodes for seven more articles from Open Food Facts records, each checked against its front photo: 250 ml carton (08996006142511), 1 l carton (08996006856180), 350 ml Original PET under two barcodes (08996006858016 from 2019 photos, 08996006878014 from 2024), 450 ml PET (08996006855145; OFF quantity says 500, the photo says 450 ml), Less Sugar 350 ml PET (08996006858580), a second Less Sugar PET with no readable size (08996006858030) and Tawar 350 ml PET (08996006858818). The 220 ml glass bottle, 330 ml carton, 230 ml pouch and 318 ml can stay without a barcode because no source found printed one. Added a summary and a Timeline (1969 launch per the maker; 1972 and 1974 bottle redesigns per Wikipedia), removed the research-narration sentence from About and added a history paragraph. References added: off-142511, off-856180, off-858016, off-878014, off-855145, off-858580, off-858030, off-858818; refreshed the access dates on sinarsosro and wikitehbotol.. This is the current version.

## About <!--about-->
Tehbotol Sosro is PT Sinar Sosro's ready-to-drink jasmine tea and the line the company calls its flagship: a sweetened *minuman teh melati* first sold in a returnable glass bottle in 1969 and named after the bottle itself.[^sinarsosro][^wikitehbotol] The company's product page lists the range as the 220 ml returnable glass bottle, Tetra Pak cartons of 200 ml, 250 ml, 330 ml and 1 litre, PET bottles of 350 ml and 450 ml, a 230 ml pouch and a 318 ml can, in original, less sugar and unsweetened (*tawar*) versions.[^sinarsosro]
The line grew out of the Sosrodjojo family's jasmine tea business in Slawi, Central Java, whose first brand was Teh Cap Botol. Brewed tea poured into used glass bottles for tasting promotions in Jakarta gave the drink its name in 1969; the bottle was redesigned in 1972 and again in 1974, when PT Sinar Sosro was established in Bekasi, and that design is still used.[^wikitehbotol]
